work has been merciful so far just that it's getting pretty tiring to my legs because i usually have to stand & do stuff plus move cartons of books/files around. and because im more or less familiarised with the work stuff my supervisor trusts me with more duties. i mostly end up dragging my feet home & just stay put on the sofa after bathing. rah. hahah.
this week will be VERY busy week because of the sec 1 orientation i.e. textbook sales as well on friday.. which means i've to work OT on certain days bleh. also reminds me of those days. omg sec 1 orientation seemed AGES ago! and what im going say is going to be like a repeat broadcast to someone here but i'm still gg to blog about it anyway!
it's pretty amusing seeing parents bring their sec 1 or sec 2 children to the bookstore to get textbooks and how the kids themselves know nothing abt what texts to buy & what stationery to get. and it makes feel me so nostalgic where there used to be times when my parents brought me to get my books from the bookshop & going up with heavy bags of books. that feeling is oh-so-familiar whenever i pack books into plastic bags for them. hahahah.
i used to feel quite excited whenever i buy texts for the new sch year. but not now because of the heart-breaking price, the intimitating thickness & the daunting small print (apart from the colourful but often useless pictures which provide temporary entertainment) textbooks no longer mean anticipation for me but dread. the dread of carrying such heavy weight home & because it's impossible to study w/o texts now it means
MUST STUDY.
but at least i get to how stupid i must have looked or been when i was in sec (not to say pri) one or two because now i'll secretly laugh at the sec ones or twos whenever they get chided by their parents because they know nothing, and their parents have to get things done for them in the end. so afterall, ignorance is indeed bliss isn't it? :D
suddenly i realise im less than TEN DAYS away from the release of results. SHUCKS.

i haven't been blogging often nowadays. sometimes i just feel soooo lazy about it! hahah but i just feel i should at least update on the stuff i've been doin and all.
i've watched 2 movies with 2 different fantastic groups of people. first of all! on sat i lunched w lau & phneah & then watched The Golden Compass with phneah. i knew it was going to be a trilogy so i didn't expect an ending. but we were QUITE late (abt 15mins) so we spent alot of effort figuring out the plot :D but it was quite a good show still! (: and i love phneah's 8MP digicam her daddy just got for her. woohoo.


on sun i went to watch Hero with collen. i must say. Hero is REALLY REALLY GOOD. way passed my expectations of it. it has humour yet meaning to the plot. nice one. i loooove it! absolutely worth my $9.50!

and then i started work. still manageable i guess. just that sometimes it gets sooo boring i stone for half the day. HAHAHAH. so this is how the first week of my holidays went. i foresee work to be extremely busy next wednesday & friday. ah well. at least im prepared for it. hahah.
i have to declare something. i seriously hate taking mrt sometimes, especially during peak hours or on weekends. it totally gets on my nerves! i can't tolerate people (especially like groups of friends or students) blocking the whole doorway and there's just no way for people to get off but to almost shout EXCUSE ME or push their way through. seriously. when this situation happens i don't really bother being courteous or polite sometimes although i still TRY to be, i'd end up losing my cool. hahahah. AND TOWN. OH MY GOSH. total shopping displeasure. it gets soo crowded sometimes u just walk a step at a time. seriously gets on my nervesssss! but ah well. i guess this is what you get when singapore is "opening up". you get more crowded places, more crowded transportation and more displeasures. but fact is fact ):

FINALLY. the torturous exams have finally come to an end! WOOHOO. i can now youtube or facebook without any sense of guilt. hahah.
it's really amazing how time flies when you don't realise it. 1 sem in NUS seemed so fast. but anyway, i went to watch Enchanted after my last paper yesterday. it's such a cute show! hahahah. but when the witch said "i'm sending her to a place where there's no happily ever after" i turned and asked anna "which is to say in our world there's no happily ever after?" and she was like yarh hor? HAHAHAH.
it's not that i desperately wanna get attached or anything when i type this entry. i am so happily single. LOL but this question keeps popping up every now and then. when you're with friends.. out on dinner and stuff. the one question they'll ask is "oh are you attached?" or "oh noo why am i still single?!" or "OMG do you know who and who are attached?!" & then the whole conversation abt singlehood and relationships will soon follow after. do you ever realise that when you're out with friends? i just realised that trend as i get older. heh.
but it's funny when some people who WANTS to get attached but yet are not because their Mr. or Ms. Right hasn't crossed their paths yet. like recently i FINALLY met up with jason together ian and serx we were talking about it. and i realised actually our expectations of the other half are quite unrealistic sometimes. "oh very simple la. she must be pretty, intelligent, eloquent, innocent yet naughty" WOAH. or "oh he must be taller than me, smarter than me, goodlooking blah blah blah" but, when i actually think about it, where the hell do we find such a (perfect)person? in our dreams la or they're probably celebrities (like jaejoong).
hahahah and yet most of the time, people will often realise that their lifetime partners at the end of the day arent what they had expected or what they have visualised them to be. a rather funny thing but thats reality. in the meantime, in the search, people will always keep their expectations SO high up in the hope of getting someone that matches or close to that. but i guess eventually who i'd want is for someone to take care of me, be there for me and love me for who i am. although one necessary criteria is he must be taller than i am. HAHAHAH.
but oh well! singlehood still rocks and i can continue admiring pretty boys like JaeJoong or whosoever. thats more than enough to satisfy me for the time being. heh!
